is there a certain ammo to run threw a glock or does it matter?
also i bought my g23 and it was suppose to have full nightsights. of course my crappy luck i only got the back ones. im missing the front night sight pin. the dealer gave me a bunch of BS and still charged me for all of them. is there a way to just order the front one so i can put it on myself? how hard will it be to put on myself? i have knowledge of tools :)
thanks

They recommend avoiding lead and sticking to FMJ.  I shoot the CCI Blazer.  It's cheap and in my opinion very reliable.  I've got over 1000 rounds through my G30 without an FTF, FTE or a dud.  Other people will disagree though.

What's with the charge for the night sights? If this is a new gun and Glock sold it as having the ns's, they will make it right, no charge. All you need to do is send them the slide...but...make sure to call or email them first so they can issue a repair authorization, etc. I believe Brownell's sells front sight blades with the inserts, but not sure which brands and/or guns they are for. They do not all go on the same way, so check with the seller or mfg. for installation info. Be careful if you install it yourself and do NOT pound on it, since this could break the tiny ampule which contains the tritum. Don't ask me how I know this :-)

Glocks do not like reloads, but should be fine with any decent quality factory stuff such as Blazer, etc.

The only thing I've put through my Glocks are reloads. 3000 rounds and zero problems. I take pride in my reloads and make a good finished product, hence no problems

Yep, I only shoot lead reloads in my Model 23. I must have 3000 + rounds and never had a problem with leading in the barrel. Barrel looks bright and new with a minimal amount of cleaning. I use UNIQUE.

i will give glock a call on the nightsigts.
i was told they where nightsigts from glock.
i originally wanted a fully adjustable nightsight version but my dealer says they dont exist? so i sad fine just get me the nightsight version. when it came in it had the two in back and the stock white one in front.
can i mail the slide threw the mail to them or is there going to be a headache with this procedure?
thanks again
i was charged $60.00 or $65.00 dont have my receit on me for the gun.

Wolf 45 chokes my M36,it's too long and jams
into the lands. It may be just this model as
this ammo shoots well enough for plinking in my other 1911's
(dirty though).

i know people are feeling bad about glocks right now. but they are taking care of me. upon closer inspection the nuclear juice is missing in the front pin :) must of been busted in the test firing or something.
but i thought i would just play fair and let everyone know they are warrentying it.

Buy whatever ammo is the most economical and functions in your pistol without any problems. At least that is what I do anyway.

I prefer reloads, of course they are my own.
I tend to stay away from gun-show reloads.
If I buy factory its Winchester white box from Wally World.  $10.96/100

Evhwg,Glocks gobble up just about anything you can feed them but lead can cause some serious problems so it’s best to stay away from it.

Have two 21's(well one is the wifes) and they have not seen a factory round, can't tell you how many rounds through each one but can say that they have seen more than 15k of the Laser Cast 200 & 230gr. with no problems.
